Ralegan Siddhi, May 7 (IBNS): Anti-Corruption crusader Anna Hazare on Sunday said the corruption charges brought against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by Kapil Mishra was saddening.

"Whatever I saw on television made me feel deeply sad," Kejriwal told media.

He said Kejriwal joined his fight against corruption.

"I have fought against corruption for past 40 years.Arvind Kejriwal also joined me in the fight. It was the fight against corruption and the movement which took place in Delhi that raised Kejriwal to the position of Delhi chief minister. Now, as corruptions charges are brought against Kejriwal makes me feel very disappointed," he said.

In a massive 'exposure', sacked Delhi minister Mishra on Sunday told mediapersons that he saw Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain handing Rs. 2 crore in cash to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the later's residence.

Mishra said, "I will not keep quiet in matters of corruption even if I lose my portfolio. Even if I die, I will not keep shut."

He alleged: "I have seen Satyendra Jain handing over cash to Kejriwal at his (Delhi CM's) residence."

Mishra said he is not making any "baseless allegations" and have shared all details with Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal in the morning.

"I have shared all details with the Lieutenant Governor and I am ready to give statement to anybody. I will give my statement to ACB and CBI," said he.

Mishra said, "We all trusted Arvind Kejriwal that he cannot indulge in corruption, but whoever is the person, I will not keep mum when it comes to corruption."

He said the AAP should clearly state where the cash came for and the purpose of the CM accepting the same.
